Default Suggestions on 50" LED mount?

I'm toying with the idea of picking up a buddy's 50" E-Series Rigid, and I would be in need of a mount for it. However, it seems that all the ones that I'm finding are around $250+ and some are unfinished! That's adding insult to injury in my opinion. Anyone have any thoughts on a good mount setup that it's going to hurt the wallet more than it will be already?

If you're gonna mount a $1200 light bar, why not get a good mount to go with it. That said check out jeepaddons.com they have a mount for like $125 or so.

I feel the same way about the mount. Turns out that there are pretty much all within $50 or each other anyway, so it looks like I'm stuck. I was just hoping there may be a way to soften the blow by finding less expensive mount options. Looks like there is only one way to mount this sucker. Oh well..

I got a Wurton 50" mount for $175 shipped and couldn't be happier. Ur getting a name brand for a decent price.
Other knock off brands for less are only less when you buy their knock off light bar with it as a package
When I researched mounts, the only options I considered buying were Wurton at 175 or poison Snyder at 250 I believe. I went with the Wurton because it was a smooth black powder coated finish instead of wrinkle finish on poison Spyder I believe

Not trying to change the subject, but what lite are you running and how do you like it.

I got a 50" Hanma dual row combination spot/flood lightbar for around $420 shipped. It works great and all the specs were the same as the rigid 50". Same lumens etc. look on ebay or amazon, all the Chinese Cree led light bars are the same, just branded differently. I posted a link not too long ago from YouTube showing the testing of them and they are damn near indestructible and they all carry warrantys.

Not really a great warranty if u get it direct from hanma.... Mine changed colors from black to bronze and the light has condensation but hanma still wants me to try and fix it myself which I tried and it still isn't sealed right, they want me to pay to ship it back to them and pay to ship new one to me..... I can buy a new one for how much shipping to Japan is!

Exactly. I'd rather pay 1/3 the price and take a chance if the rigids could possibly get condensation too. I haven't had any problems with mind doing that but we've got pretty moderate climate
